Rated 5 out of 5 by ClassieBooneColby Intestinal Issues
My Cavapoo, Colby has developed severe intestinal issues with eating anything but W/D. If I can keep everything else out of his stomach, he does well. He does still have to take a very low dose of prednisone every day as well. I tried cooking for him and every other food recommended for dogs with severe bloody diarrhea and nothing else works. I am glad Science Diet has created a food he can tolerate.

My former foster poodle (adopted by his loving mom years ago) ate w/d from age 6 up to age 20! He just passed away 2 weeks ago and was healthy right up to the end.
Maybe not the best ingredients "by appearance" but he had great coat, energy, nice stool and was healthy right up till the day he passed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by dcdvm Great food for maintenance
My toy Manchester Terrier was on r/d for two months until the expected weight was reached. She is now on w/d to maintain that weight. It is wonderful to be able to feed her a nice amount of food (not so restricted in volume) so she is not always desperately begging and to also see her slim and in great shape. Hill's is the best at dietary management!

Rated 5 out of 5 by rbankr Perfect Food for a Diabetic Puppy
We are fostering a puppy that was diagnosed with diabetes at 2 months of age. From then until 6.5 months, the diabetes was untreated; he gained no weight and was left at a vet's office to be put down. After bringing him into our home and feeding him a very high fat and carb diet to help him regain strength, he doubled his body weight in 6 weeks. Unfortunately, this did nothing to help bring his blood glucose levels under control. With the help of an Internist who prescribed the Hills W/D, 3 weeks after our visit, his B/G levels are nearly within normal range, he's active and thriving and still, more slowly, gaining weight. We have applied to the Rescue group to adopt him and hope to give him his forever home by Christmas.

This food was prescribed from my vet after diagnosing my puggle with diabetes. At first my puggle was not satisfied from it, but I added a little chicken broth and increased the amount fed. He is doing much better. Along with giving him two injection of insulin a day, this food has helped so he doesn't need as much insulin which is great. I trust hills, and I am grateful that they have this food for my animals needs. However, I wish the price can be a little cheaper. Chewy listed the cheapest price around. Thank you. Excellent company and costumer service. They go out of their way to contact the vets. Thank you again. Great product. Great company.
